It will be readily seen that when the rubbing bar 16 is swung rearwardly at its lower end by the animal rubbing against the same, the upper end of said rubbing bar will be swung forwardly so as to swing the bowl shaped end of the dipper 20 up to a position within the hood 2 1 of the cover 10. The dipper 20 is ofsubstantially channel form so as to provide a longitudinal groove 25 therein and the forward end of the dipper is cut away as at 26, to allow the oil to run therefrom to the rubbing bar 16, a suitable hood 27 being provided on the extreme free end of the dipper 20 to prevent the oil from leaving the end of the dipper too rapidly, checkingit and causing it to drop down onto the top part of the rubbing bar 16.

The lower portion of the rubbing bar 16 is forwardly curved to provide a depression 28 whichcatches any oil that is not rubbed into the hogs skin, and the front face of said bar is provided at the top thereof with a pair of ribs 29 which are so disposed as to lead the oil to a point indicated at 30 at the apex of a V-shaped rib 31, whose lower ends are slightly spaced, as at 32, from the longitudinal side ribs 33 of the rubbing bar 16. This formation of projections is continued as at 34 and 35 entirely down the front face of the bar 16 to the depression 28 so as to alternately divide the oil into two small streams and to cause the same to flow in a zigzag manner until it reaches the lower part of the rubbing bar.

In order to limit the rearward movement of the lower end of the rubbing bar and consequently the upward movement of the dipper 20, there is provided a suitable bolt 36 threaded into the lug 37, rigid with the bar 16, and retained in adjusted position by means of a lock nut 38. It is obvious that when the bar 16 is swung rearwardly the head 39 of the bolt 36 will be moved against the bottom of the tank 5, in which position the bar 16 is prevented from further rearward movement, which rearward movement may be controlled by the adjustment of the bolt 36 closer to or farther from the bottom of the tank 5. a a

From the foregoing description, it is believed that the construction and operation of the present invention will be readily understood by those skilled in the art, it being noted that the animal rubbing up against the bar 16 will move the lower end of the same rearwardly, thereby swinging the upper end of thebar reason of the engagement of lugs 19 with the lugs 23 of the dipper 20, said dipper will be tilted upon the upper edge of the front wall of the tank 5 so as to assumea forwardly inclined position whereby the oil contained in the bowl-shaped portion 21 will flow from the latter longitudinally of forwardly and, by

the dipper to the opening 26 and from thence to the top of the rubbing bar 16. The oil will flow from the top of the rubbing bar 16 down the front face of the same as hereinbefore described so as to be distributed in a manner to be easily rubbed into the animals skin.

lVhile the form of the invention herein described is what is believed to be the preferred embodiment of the same, minor changes may be made in the details, combination, and arrangement of parts without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as claimed.

lVhat I claim as new is 1. A hog oiler comprising a tank, forwardly projecting spaced plates rigid with the tank, a normally vertically disposed rubbing bar pivoted intermediate its ends between the plates and having an angular upper end disposed overlying the forward wall of the tank, and a dipper pivotally mounted for vertical movement in thetank and operatively connected to the angular upper end of the rubbing bar whereby a forward swinging movement of the upper end of the rul bing barwill cause an upward swinging movement of the dipper to cause oil to How from the dipper by gravity to the rubbing bar.

2. A hog oiler including a tank, a cover for said tank detachably slidably interlocking with the latter and having an overhanging front edge, a rubbing bar pivoted intermediate its ends to the tank and having an angular upper end disposed above the tank and beneath the overhanging front edge of the cover, and a dipper within the tank operatively connected to the upper end of the rubbing bar to supply oil to the latter from the tank upon forward movement of the upper end of said rubbing bar.

3. A hog oiler including a tank, a shiftable substantially vertically disposed rubbing bar arranged at the front side of the tank with its upper end above and adjacent the upper edge of the front wall of the tank, a dipper pivotally resting on the upper edge of the front wall of the tank and normally disposed in a rearwardly downwardly inclined position, said dipper being swingable upwardly to a forwardly and downwardly inclined osition to supply oil therefrom by gravity to the upper end of the rubbing bar, and operative connections between the dipper and the upper end of the rubbing bar.

4. A device of the class described including in combination, a tank having free communication with the atmosphere above the surface of the oil, a trough portion in the bottom of the tank, a dipper member pivotally resting on said tank with its end in said trough portion, a rubbing member pivoted to said tank, said dipper member having upper and lower lugs adjacent its outer Uopies of this patent may be obtained for five cents each, by addressing the Gommissioner of 2atents,

5. A device of the class described including in combination, a tank having a trough portion, a dipper member pivotally resting on said tank, a rubbing member pivoted to said tank, said dipper member having upper and lower offset lugs adjacent its outer end, said rubbing member having a cut-away upper end providing a slot therein and a pair of inwardly directed lugs, the outer end of said dipper member being positioned in said slot with said upper dipper lugs engaged with said inwardly directed lugs of the rub bing member, whereby, when said rubbing member is actuated,.said dipper member will supply a limited quantity of liquid to said rubbing member.

6. A device of the class described including in combination, a supply tank, a rubbing member mounted thereon andhaving a cutaway upper end providing a slot therein, a connection for delivering a limited quantity of liquid from said supply tank to said up per end of the rubbing member when said rubbing member is actuated, said connection including a dipper member pivotally mounted on the tank, and a pair of lugs on the upper end of said rubbing member having a loose interengaging connection with said dipper member, said dipper member having a cut-away outer end forming an opening leading to the top of said rubbing member, and a deflecting hood rigid with the outer end of said dipper member.

7. A device of the class described including in combination, a supply tank, a rubbing member movably mounted on said tank, a

dipper member pivotally resting loosely. on the front edge of the tank and having upper and lower lugs, said rubbing member having an inwardly extending lug engaging behind said upper dipper lug whereby, when the rubbing member isactuated by an animal leaning thereagainst, the dipper member will be actuated to transfer a limited quantity of liquid to said rubbing member.

8. A device of the class described including in combination, a supply tank, a rubbing member movably mounted onsaid tank, a dipper member pivotally resting loosely on the front edge of the tank and having upper and lower lugs adjacent its outer end, said rubbing member having a pair of inwardly extending lugs on the upper end thereof engaging 'behlnd said upper dipper lugs whereby, when the rubbing member is actuated, the dipper member will, be moved on its pivot to transfer a limited quantity of liquid to said rubbing member.

9. A device of the class described including in combination, a tank having a trough portion adapted to receive a supply of liquid, a rubbing member movably mounted on said tank, a dipper member normally extending into said trough portion and adapted to receive a limited quantity of liquid therefrom, said dipper member having upper and lower lugs, said dipper pivotally resting on said tank with the lower lugs of the dipper engaging the inner face of a wall of the tank, said rubbing member having lugs engaging said upper dipper lugs whereby, when the rubbing member is actuated, the dipper member will be moved to a discharge position to transfer a limited quantity of liquid to said rubbing member. In testimony whereof I afiix my signature.
